The Next meeting on Saturday 14th February has had to be cancelled for unforseen reasons
| The meeting will start at 1.15pm and the topic is Members' displays of Perak. All States offer a range of interests and display options; for Perak this is from early overprints, through the FMS years, the pre and post independence issues. |
Following from our VJ Exhibition at the Royal Philatelic Society London (still open until end of September) our next meeting is at Spinks Saturday 20th September with members' displays on Forces Mail starting around 1.15pm
Forces Mail is a wide topic ranging from nineteen tens to the nineteen sixties that includes WW1, WW2, Malayan Emergency and Confrontasi or Confrontation
We have as well as philatelic items several displays of Far Eastern PoWs art, so please come and bring along a suitable display
It is likely to be a fantastic mixture of philately and historical information, the like of which I suspect we will not see again on the Forgotten War!!
